Just got an email from Nick Clegg, which is sweet of him considering he must be busy today. Not that my LibDem vote really counts in Otley; by all accounts the incumbent is a shoo-in.
I did my duty this morning anyway. It's a shame when only people making their protest votes are motivated and give the extreme parties something to boast about. As they did in Aylesbury in the Council elections (a UKIP councillor? what's he going to do, get Quarrendon out of Europe?!) and as someone's parents are doing in this General Election. Aylesbury won't shift from true-blue because of their two votes, but who wants to put a smile on racists' faces?
ETA the above doesn't apply to Dana's vote, obviously.
I am voting differently, but for the same reason. I'm not pro Lib Dem, but I'm not anti. They meet my political ideals better than the current coalition, and why split the vote in this area by ticking Labour?
